Seattle, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet happens whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will normally constantly stay on the individual's state criminal record until a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a certain time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been totally satisfied. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are fulfilled, most municipal & district courts will normally give movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully mention on future job applications that he/she has never ever had a criminal record.
